An Age-Associated Decline in Thymic Output Differs in Dog Breeds According to Their Longevity (2016)
Journal Article
Holder, A., Mella, S., Palmer, D. B., Aspinall, R., & Catchpole, B. (2016). An Age-Associated Decline in Thymic Output Differs in Dog Breeds According to Their Longevity. PLoS ONE, 11, e0165968. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0165968

The age associated decline in immune function is preceded in mammals by a reduction in thymic output. Furthermore, there is increasing evidence of a link between immune competence and lifespan. One approach to determining thymic output is to quantify... Read More about An Age-Associated Decline in Thymic Output Differs in Dog Breeds According to Their Longevity.
